Editor: According to the Bible in Genesis 3:1 the serpent (Satan) was the most subtle beast of the field. I tell you today, he still is! Back in 1963 prayer was removed from most schools by the work of Satan through mostly one person, but many were involved, the church slept, then for the most part abortion was legalized in 1973, the church slept, prior to 1962 in the U.S. sodomy was a felony in every state in the union but was struck down by the Supreme Court, the church slept. Before 1962 back to the 1500s sodomy was punishable by death or imprisonment. We've sunk a long way.Now to get to my point, it looks like two other institution are under attack and may be decided in 2013. The question, is the church going to sleep again? The truth is Satan will and has used the Supreme Court, ACLU, the church and just plain ole tolerant good people to accomplish his goals to still, kill and destroy.The U.S. Supreme Court is in the process of deciding if the Defense of Marriage Act is to be struck down, and The Boy Scouts of America are under great pressure to change their long-standing stance on gays in the BSA as leaders. Both of these are fully endorsed by our president. Now an interesting point on the DOMA: While it is still law, I thought a president was sworn to defend and enforce the laws of the U.S., but back in 2011 our president ordered the Justice Department not to defend it. My question, if he can legally do that while it's still law, what's the next law that he does not like that he will stop defending? I just read where more young people are for DOMA to be struck down. Is it not ironic that 50 years ago Bible and prayer was removed from schools, and now 50 years later more young people favor a lewd lifestyle? Satan is subtle; he had to get the Bible and prayer out of the young people's minds.I am going to close by simply saying, if you believe that the Creator decided what marriage is long ago and believe that leaders of our children should be moral people, do something! Vote, write letters, tweet, let the 40 senators and 172 representatives who want DOMA struck down that they are the ones who won't stand.Jesus said in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."Folks, I am convinced Satan has turned his attention on America to destroy her, because we proclaim the only hope of the world in Jesus the Christ. Satan wants to stop us, but Jesus also said in Matthew that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church, so we need to wake up and stand up.Danny SolesLexington
